Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
When it was cocluded that we shuld sayle into Italy they delivered Paul and certayne other presoners vnto one named Iulius an vnder captayne of Cesars soudiars.
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
And we entred into a ship of Adramicium and lowsed from lond apoynted to sayle by the costes of Asia one Aristarcus out of Macedonia of the contre of Thessalia beinge with vs.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously treated Paul, and gave him liberty to go to his friends to refresh himself.
And the nexte daye we came to Sidon. And Iulius courteously entreated Paul and gave him liberte to goo vnto his frendes and to refresshe him selfe.
4 And when we had launched from there, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And from thence lanched we and sayled harde by Cypers because the wyndes were contrarye.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Then sayled we over the see of Cilicia and Pamphylia and came to Myra a cite in Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us on board.
And there ye vnder captayne founde a shippe of Alexander redy to sayle into Italy and put vs therin.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce had come off Cnidus, the wind did not permit us, we sailed under Crete, off Salmone;
And when we had sayled slowly many dayes and scace were come over agaynst Gnydon (because the wynde with stode vs) we sayled harde by the costes of Candy over agaynste Salmo
8 And, scarcely passing it, came to a place which is called The fair havens; near which was the city of Lasea.
and with moche worke sayled beyonde yt and came vnto a place called good porte. Nye whervnto was a citie called Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
When moche tyme was spent and saylinge was now ieoperdeous because also that we had overlonge fasted Paul put them in remembraunce
10 And said to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with harm and much damage, not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives.
and sayde vnto them Syrs I perceave that this vyage wilbe with hurte and moche domage not of the ladynge and ship only: but also of oure lyves.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than the things which were spoken by Paul.
Neverthelather the vndercaptayne beleved the governer and the master better then tho thinges which were spoken of Paul.
12 And because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the greater part advised to depart from there also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
And because the haven was not comodius to wynter in many toke counsell to departe thence yf by eny meanes they myght attayne to Phenices and there to wynter which is an haven of Candy and servith to the southwest and northwest wynde.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing from there, they sailed close by Crete.
When the south wynde blewe they supposynge to obtayne their purpose lowsed vnto Asson and sayled paste all Candy.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
But anone after ther arose agaynste their purpose a flawe of wynde out of the northeeste.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
And when the ship was caught and coulde not resist the wynde we let her goo and drave with the wether.
16 And running under a certain isle which is called Clauda, we had much work to secure the boat:
And we came vnto an yle named Clauda and had moche worke to come by abote
17 Which when they had taken it up, they used cables, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.
which they toke vp and vsed helpe vndergerdynge the shippe fearynge lest we shuld have fallen into Syrtes and we let doune a vessell and so were caryed.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
The nexte daye when we were tossed wt an exceadynge tempest they lyghtened ye ship
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
and the thyrde daye we cast out with oure awne hondes the tacklynge of the shippe.
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
When at the last nether sunne nor starre in many dayes appered and no small tempest laye apon vs all hope that we shuld be saved was then taken awaye.
21 But after being long without food Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
Then after longe abstinence Paul stode forth in the myddes of them and sayde: Syrs ye shulde have harkened to me and not have lowsed from Candy nether to have brought vnto vs this harme and losse.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of life among you, but of the ship.
And nowe I exhorte you to be of good chere. For ther shalbe no losse of eny mas lyfe amonge you save of the ship only.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
For ther stode by me this nyght the angell of God whose I am and whom I serve
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
sayinge: feare not Paul for thou must be brought before Cesar. And lo God hath geven vnto the all that sayle with ye.
25 Therefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told to me.
Wherfore Syrs be of good chere: for I beleve God that so it shalbe even as it was tolde me.
26 But we must be cast upon a certain isle.
How be it we must be cast into a certayne ylonde.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen thought that they drew near to some country;
But when ye fourtethe nyght was come as we were caryed in Adria about mydnyght the shipmen demed that ther appered some countre vnto the:
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
and sounded and founde it. xx. feddoms. And when they had gone a lytell further they sounded agayne and founde. xv. feddoms.
29 Then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Then fearinge lest they shuld have fallen on some Rocke they cast. iiii. ancres out of the sterne and wysshed for ye daye.
30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under pretence as though they would cast anchors out of the foreship,
As the shipmen were about to fle out of the ship and had let doune the bote into the see vnder a coloure as though they wolde have cast ancres out of the forshippe:
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Paul sayd vnto ye vnder captayne and the soudiers: excepte these abyde in the ship ye cannot be safe.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Then the soudiers cut of the rope of the bote and let it fall awaye.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
And in ye meane tyme betwixt that and daye Paul besought them all to take meate sayinge: this is ye fourtenthe daye that ye have taried and continued fastynge receavinge nothinge at all.
34 Therefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Wherfore I praye you to take meate: for this no dout is for youre helth: for ther shall not an heere fall fro the heed of eny of you.
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
And when he had thus spoke he toke breed and gave thankes to God in presence of the all and brake it and begane to eate.
36 Then they were all of good cheer, and they also took food.
Then were they all of good cheare and they also toke meate.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy and six souls.
We were all together in ye ship two hundred thre score and sixtene soules.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast the wheat into the sea.
And whe they had eate ynough they lightened ye ship and cast out the wheate into the see.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into which they purposed, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
Whe yt was daye they knew not ye lande but they spied a certayne haven with a banke into ye which they were mynded (yf yt were possible) to thrust in the ship.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted the mainsail to the wind, and made toward the shore.
And when they had taken vp the ancres they comytted them selves vnto the see and lowsed the rudder bondes and hoysed vp ye mayne sayle to the wynde and drue to londe.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the bow stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the stern was broken with the violence of the waves.
But they chaunsed on a place which had the see on bothe the sydes and thrust in the ship. And the foore parte stucke fast and moved not but ye hynder brake with the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
The soudears counsell was to kyll ye presoners lest eny of them when he had swome out shulde fle awaye.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
But the vndercaptayne willinge to save Paul kept the from their purpose and commaunded that they yt could swyme shulde cast the selves first in to ye see and scape to londe.
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
And the other he comaunded to goo some on bordes and some on broken peces of the ship. And so it came to passe that they came all safe to londe.
